V6 hardfloat ready

[Huulivoide]

Oh my god! The hardware floats can do a lot of good to multimedia.
There was this one clip I could not play with Pi, because it has a
5.1 channel DTS audiotrack. The playback was really choppy and cpu
was topped out to 100%, now the same clip plays with 50-60% CPU
without any problems. DD

Is there a way to switch to hardfloat without reinstalling the whole system? (Like changing the repos and reinstalling all packages?)

[WarheadsSE]

No. That would be like putting A1 kerosene in your Mazda Miata ... BOOM. You can however copy your configs & all data / scripts/etc and put them in place after installing the matching package list.

Hi,

Could someone provide a changelog ?
Is it just a systemD and glibc update or something else ?

I don't want to compile all my stuff again

[WarheadsSE]

Basically:

All updates past glibc, and moved to systemd. Otherwise, identical core install.

Thank you guys very very much for putting the time and effort into making this possible.

On another note, this gives me an excuse to start using systemd on my servers and my desktop lol..
